Starbucks to Open Next Evolution of Hear Music(TM) Coffeehouses

Starbucks Hear Music announced recently that the next evolution of the Hear Music(TM) Coffeehouse opened on Monday, Dec. 19, 2005, on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. An additional location will open in South Beach (Miami), Fla., in early 2006. These additions to the Starbucks retail portfolio further extend the concept of the initial Hear Music(TM) Coffeehouse, which opened in Santa Monica, Calif., in March 2004.

 

The new stores represent the full integration of a classic coffeehouse experience with an extensive digital and physical music inventory and underscore the Company's steadfast commitment to extending its Entertainment initiative. The unrivalled combination results in a compelling third place destination for customers to connect over coffee as well as explore, discover, personalize and buy quality music in a warm and inviting environment.
